EFD’s Ambassador Meeting was held at Au Parc restaurant on 13 October. From now on our monthly meetings are officially rescheduled from the second Tuesday to the second Wednesday because of some Ambassadors’ request.
In the meeting, we had a chance to take a look at every recent event, especially the launch of our “Act small. Lose big” campaign. Furthermore, the majority of Ambassadors would intend to hold various activities to not only raise funds but also raise public awareness on EFD and its mission.

EFD Ambassador Diem takes local action – a presentation
Published 24/08/2010 Month 8 - August Leave a CommentIn August, Diem successfully delivered her presentation about EFD at Foreign Trade University. Her peers were so interested in EFD and eager to ‘act local’ with EFD for a good cause. It is delightful to hear about such local contribution to raise people’s awareness on EFDs mission in support of disadvantaged children and youth.

Let’s come to enjoy a cup of Gloria Jean’s Coffee.
And send us your heart-to-heart donation for a good cause.
In late July EF
Ds former board member from The Netherlands, Mr. Dennis Ratering, visited Vietnam with a group of 6 dedicated volunteers. It was exciting for them to pay a project visit to one of EFD’s recent projects Hy Vong Binh Thanh School in Binh Thanh district.
The enthusiastic and friendly welcome from teachers and children closed the gap and pulled everyone together. Despite their hearing and speech disabilities, children weren’t shy but totally gave us open communication. All felt happy for them to study in the recently renovated clean, safe school environment with improved educational facilities provided under this EFDs project.
Dennis and other volunteers showed deep admiration for all the staff there. The school has developed with more spacious class rooms for additional students, equiping them with knowledge and encouragement in their future lives.
It was a memorable day and we look forward to continuing our support for Hy Vong Binh Thanh School.
